Unser Team legt großen Wert darauf, die Lernumgebung so strukturiert und effektiv wie möglich zu gestalten und stets hochwertige Texte anzubieten.

Wir wünschen dir weiterhin viel Erfolg und Spaß beim Lesen! ### 4/5 — Very useful! *2026-10-13, version 10.7.1* I like this app, it is well structured and easy to use to learn a new language! ### 3/5 — Sounds like a computer reading *2026-08-21* Some of the stories are great and I love the way you can listen and read but too many stories don’t sound like a person is reading them and I think that defeats the purpose of **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your review and for highlighting how much you enjoy our story selection and the listen-and-read feature! We completely understand your feedback regarding the audio, and we agree that natural, human-like pronunciation is absolutely crucial for language learning. Because our library is constantly growing, we use advanced text-to-speech technologies to voice the texts. However, we are continuously working on upgrading our audio models to make them sound as expressive and natural as real native speakers. Your feedback pushes us to improve! If you notice specific stories with particularly robotic voices, please feel free to let our support team know through the app so we can prioritize updating them. Happy reading! ### 5/5 — Great Selection of Topics! *2026-08-09* I enjoy how many topics I have to choose from in Lingard. I find articles I really like, others that are interesting and teach me new things, and have not yet found an article I did not complete. I am learning French again after taking it for two years in college (40 years ago). Listening to articles helps me practice one set of skills and reading articles focuses on another set of skills. I am finding Lingard very helpful. I use the built-in quizzes to check my comprehension Lingard is a great resource for me! **Developer response:** Hi John! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. Returning to French after 40 years is incredibly inspiring, and we are absolutely honored that Lingard is a part of your journey! It is fantastic to hear that you are utilizing both the reading and listening features to develop different skill sets—this is exactly the kind of comprehensive approach we hoped to encourage. We are also thrilled that our wide selection of topics and built-in quizzes are keeping you engaged enough to complete every article you start. Félicitations for your dedication! We wish you continued success and joy in rediscovering the French language! ### 5/5 — Better than LingQ *2026-07-21* I found this app is much more user friendly and beautifully designed than LingQ also it has many great contents and a lot of tools that actually make sense for a beginner. Finally I start to have a bit of confidence in learning a new language! **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much, Maggie! Your incredible feedback means the world to our team. We put a lot of love into making our interface beautiful and ensuring our reading tools are genuinely intuitive and helpful. We are absolutely thrilled that you find the app so easy to navigate and, most importantly, that it has given you a real boost of confidence! Helping learners feel empowered and comfortable as they progress in a new language is exactly why we created the app. Wishing you continued success on your language learning journey! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-16, version 10.1.3* Excelente ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-07-06, version 10.1.3* Thank you very much ### 5/5 — Lingard *2026-07-04* Super ### 5/5 — これが一番時間を使ってる。 *2026-07-02* ものすごく変化する仕組みを持つ言語は、不定型を覚えても文中ではほぼ出てこないから、あらゆる単語が初見にみえます。 このアプリは本がベースで、文中で見慣れない単語をクリックすることで、その単語の原型や類似単語が表示されます。この機能が地味に好きです。 スピーキングの練習よりも、ひたすら文字を追いながらその言語に慣れることを求めているならこのアプリが最高に適していると思います。 叶うなら一個だけ。毎日最低新規の単語を4個覚えないと、他の基準を満たしても今日の学習クリアとならない為、新規の単語を惰性でやってしまう自分がいます。そこがもっと柔軟であったら良いなと思います。 新しいのを覚えることと復習はどっちも大切だと思うのです。 **Developer response:** 素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます！文脈の中で単語の原形を確認できる機能を気に入っていただけて光栄です。 また、学習目標に関する貴重なご意見も感謝いたします。毎日4つの新しい単語を必須とする現在の仕組みが、復習を重視したい方にとって負担になる可能性があるという点は、開発チームにとって非常に重要な気づきです。より柔軟に学習設定を調整できるよう、今後のアップデートで改善を検討させていただきます。 これからもLingardでの読書と学習を楽しんでください！ ### 5/5 — Toll *2026-06-21* Sehr umfängliche schöne App, gefällt mir sehr gut, bin aber noch am Anfang hoffe das ich davon profitieren kann. Scheint mir aber sehr strukturiert aufgebaut zu sein und viele Möglichkeiten zu bieten. Ich freue mich darauf es auszuprobieren…. ### 5/5 — Lin *2026-06-05, version 10.0.3* C’est super , j’adore 🥰 ### 5/5 — wonderful books for me *2026-05-13* It’s easy to understand to read all books Sometimes not to know words touch the screen them understand quickly And many kinds of stories they have that’s a big point for me **Developer response:** 素敵なご感想をありがとうございます。Lingardのストーリーが読みやすく、知らない単語もすぐ画面をタップして確認できる点、そして多彩なお話を気に入っていただけてとても嬉しいです。これからも楽しく読み進められるよう、内容の充実に努めてまいります。 ### 5/5 — Truly a hidden gem *2026-05-11, version 9.7.4* This is the best app( and I have tons of them) for recalling/retrieving vocabulary no app presents a review as good as this highly support this app!!!! ### 5/5 — リスニングの習慣づけ *2026-05-01* 電車の中など、移動中に聞けるのがとてもいい。文字を追って聞くこともできるし、様々なジャンルから興味のあるタイトルを選ぶことができるのも良いです。 **Developer response:** 素敵なご感想をありがとうございます。移動中に聞けることや、文字を追いながら学べる点、さらに興味のあるジャンルを選べる点を気に入っていただけてとても嬉しいです。これからも学習習慣づくりに役立つアプリを目指してまいります。 ### 5/5 — これが一番時間を使ってる。 *2026-04-13* ものすごく変化する仕組みを持つ言語は、不定型を覚えても文中ではほぼ出てこないから、あらゆる単語が初見にみえます。 このアプリは本がベースで、文中で見慣れない単語をクリックすることで、その単語の原型や類似単語が表示されます。この機能が地味に好きです。 スピーキングの練習よりも、ひたすら文字を追いながらその言語に慣れることを求めているならこのアプリが最高に適していると思います。 叶うなら一個だけ。毎日最低新規の単語を4個覚えないと、他の基準を満たしても今日の学習クリアとならない為、新規の単語を惰性でやってしまう自分がいます。そこがもっと柔軟であったら良いなと思います。 新しいのを覚えることと復習はどっちも大切だと思うのです。 **Developer response:** 素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます！文脈の中で単語の原形を確認できる機能を気に入っていただけて光栄です。 また、学習目標に関する貴重なご意見も感謝いたします。毎日4つの新しい単語を必須とする現在の仕組みが、復習を重視したい方にとって負担になる可能性があるという点は、開発チームにとって非常に重要な気づきです。より柔軟に学習設定を調整できるよう、今後のアップデートで改善を検討させていただきます。 これからもLingardでの読書と学習を楽しんでください！ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s unfortunate AI is used *2026-10-19, version 10.7.1* Okay so! I liked the user experience and as soon as I opened the book, I heard a machine and to make it worse it sounded like a baby was reading the French. It was u comprehensible and disappointing you want me to spend money on that! Shocking and disappointed. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-10-01* One of those apps that is free to download then makes you do a pointless questionnaire before trying to make you sign up for a really expensive subscription. Waste of time. **Developer response:** Hi Jedoakley! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify how the app is structured. The initial questionnaire is not pointless; it is specifically designed to assess your current language level and interests so we can tailor the reading materials to your exact needs. Furthermore, while we do offer a premium subscription for advanced tools like unlimited sentence translations, a large portion of our reading and listening content is available entirely for free. You do not need to purchase a subscription to start learning. If you would like guidance on how to navigate past the subscription screen and access the free materials, please reach out to us at hello@lingard.app or through the in-app Settings > Support. Our team will gladly help you get started. ### 1/5 — update made it worst *2026-09-10, version 10.5* yet to use it before the update lessons woild not load now cannot get pass registation ### 1/5 — Die App funktioniert auf dem Mac nicht *2026-07-16* Sobald ich die App öffne habe ich weißes Bildschirm **Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut uns sehr leid, dass du beim Öffnen der Mac-App nur einen weißen Bildschirm siehst. Das ist natürlich ärgerlich! Die gute Nachricht ist: Wir haben dieses Problem bereits behoben. Bitte aktualisiere die App über den App Store auf die allerneueste Version. Danach sollte alles wieder einwandfrei funktionieren! Falls das Problem wider Erwarten weiterhin bestehen sollte, melde dich bitte jederzeit bei unserem Support. Vielen Dank für deine Geduld! 🛠️ ### 1/5 — The Accents and prononciation are terrible *2026-07-08* The narrators are sound like an American just learned to read and speak in French !! And there is no switch to change it. I subscribed and fully paid for an annual plan but it crucial to keep on…I live in France ,I guess it is better to not learn to pronounce these way’´´ WASTED MONEY !!!! Update; Disappointed to see after 4 months and a lengthy respond from the developer about the upcoming updates and changes ,Nothing has changed At All!!! **Developer response:** Hi Mina, thank you for your feedback. We completely understand why authentic pronunciation is crucial, especially since you live in France! We’d like to clarify how our voice system works: Tailored Difficulty: We use various high-quality voices with different accents. The specific accent you mentioned is intentionally designed for beginners, as a slower, clearer pronunciation makes listening comprehension much easier at the early stages. Customizable Settings: You actually can change the voice! For individual words and highlighted text, you can select your preferred narrator’s accent and gender directly in the app's Settings. Growing Library: We are just starting to expand our French language section, and your recommendations are incredibly valuable to us. We also want to remind everyone that Lingard offers a 7-day free trial for the Pro version, allowing users to fully test all features (including narration) before deciding to purchase a plan. Could you please reach out to us via Settings > Support? We would love to help you configure the voice settings to suit your advanced level and hear your suggestions! ### 1/5 — А как попробовать не покупая? *2026-04-10* Нет возможности попробовать бесплатно- гоняет по кругу - подписка и ее варианты - подарок - подписка и ее варианты. Я не хочу даже на 7 дней подписки! Я не могу даже понять, а нравится ли мне, а удобно ли! Вы просто потеряли клиента со своим агрессивным маркетингом ### 1/5 — Дмитрий, это вообще что? *2026-04-07, version 9.7.2* Абсолютно ничего нельзя сделать в приложении бесплатно) На что не нажми - у нас для вас подарок, купите доступ на год.

Нам очень жаль, что у вас сложилось такое впечатление, но мы ни в коем случае не обманываем наших пользователей. Книга "Jane Eyre" (Джейн Эйр) полностью доступна в нашей библиотеке — вы можете легко найти её, воспользовавшись поиском (иконка лупы) в разделе "Библиотека". Помимо платных книг, у нас есть большой раздел с бесплатным контентом, а также возможность загружать свои файлы (EPUB/PDF) для чтения с переводом.

Приложение очень крутое. Определило исходный уровень языка и подобрало подходящие материалы. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2026-09-29* Добрый день! Уже второй год пользуюсь платной версией данного приложения. Сделала себе такой подарок на Новый год. Хочу поблагодарить разработчиков. Мне приложение очень помогает поднять разговорный английский. Можно придумать разные методы изучения. Сделать скорость поменьше и повторять за диктором. Просто слушать и пытаться понимать, читать самостоятельно. Все это только на пользу. Последние изменения с переводом, прослушиванием и самостоятельным чтением вслух вообще супер помогают не боятся своего произношения. На мой взгляд, если цель правда серьезно поднять уровень английского, а в моем случае это часть моей работы для общения с коллегами, то цена вменяема, очень много материала. За два года не все прочла))) **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Огромное спасибо за такой потрясающий и подробный отзыв! Для всей нашей команды лучшая награда — знать, что Lingard уже второй год помогает вам уверенно общаться с коллегами. Вы выбрали абсолютно профессиональный подход к обучению. Комбинирование аудирования, изменения скорости и чтения вслух — это самые эффективные методы для преодоления языкового барьера и постановки речи. Мы особенно счастливы слышать, что наши последние обновления помогли вам перестать бояться своего произношения! Именно ради таких результатов мы и работаем. В нашей библиотеке еще очень много интересного материала, так что впереди у вас много увлекательных часов. Желаем дальнейших успехов в английском и блестящей коммуникации на работе! ### 5/5 — Sehr zufrieden *2026-09-26* Ich bin Deutschlerner und bin sehr zufrieden mit der App. Besonders gut gefällt es mir, dass Support bei jeglichen Problemen ganz schnell reagiert **Developer response:** Hallo!
